I met with my dietician and surgeon today. My Nut was impressed with my 20 pound weight loss 11 days post-op but she told me to take two multi-vitamins and asked me about my calcium (I really need to start taking my chewables). However, I am up two pounds from two days ago, but maybe it's because my scale and the doctor's scale are different. I've also had no issue with getting liquids down what so ever and my dietician said I was very lucky. (I THINK I AM!)

She asked me about acid reflux. I said I didn't have any or nausea. yay! But my BM's have become more difficult and I'm getting some serious gas pains and burping. She said it was normal. I just hope it doesn't last forever!

My surgeon told me I could remove my steristrips when I get home. I did, and man it's weird. MY INCISIONS ARE SOOOOOO TINY! like we're talking a centimeter and the biggest one is maybe 2cm. I think with time I might not have scars at all.

He told me when I start pureed food I need to go very slow or else I'll throw up. I'm starting those on New Year's eve dinner. woohoo for manicotti.

I'm still having major gas pains today and I already went to the bathroom this morning. Also, after I sip things like soup or muscle milk, I get pains that feel like gas, and I burp. Not fun :[ I don't think it's a leak, but now I'm paranoid of strictures. I guess once I get to soft foods I'll find out.
